OK, even if they can compete with Bayer as far as resolution is concerned, there is still the ISO limitation, the light must pass thru 2 layers of sensors. Few people these days these days will put up with the ISO limitations of the earlier Foveons.

Those layers of silicon are just colour filters, not essentially different from the ones in front of the pixels in a Bayer sensor. And the top layer has no filter in front of it.

Sigmas were never all around cameras in their day and they are even less so today because the other brands have made big improvements in ISO and images per second performance.

I use my Sigmas for landscapes and macro and my Fujis for everything else. My Sigmas could never be my only cameras, my Fujis could.
